I've heard folks who work in the home energy audit business say that upgrading insulation is usually the most cost-effective thing you can do to lower energy bills. Even better, it's multiplicative with other activities like installing heat pumps or solar, so you can install a much lower capacity system and still hit your energy targets.

Here in Scotland, 'Home Energy Scotland' offer grants and interest free loans for various energy efficiency and renewable measures, but for the former you must install roof or cavity wall insulation if its recommended on your energy performance certificate for the building - I'd assume purely because it's the most cost effective measures when applicable.
